Scheduling service for your boat at Premier Watersports Knoxville is simple and convenient. You can request an appointment by calling our service department directly at 865.693.9949, using our online scheduling form on our website, or visiting our service center in person. When scheduling, please provide details about your boat (make, model, year) and the service needed to help us prepare. For routine maintenance, we recommend booking 1-2 weeks in advance, especially during peak boating season (May-September). For urgent repairs or issues affecting your boat's operation, we offer priority scheduling and will make every effort to accommodate your needs as quickly as possible. Once your appointment is confirmed, you can either drop off your boat at our facility or inquire about our pickup and delivery options.

Yes, Premier Watersports Knoxville offers comprehensive winterization services to protect your boat during the off-season. Our winterization package includes engine fogging, fuel stabilization, antifreeze protection for all water systems, battery maintenance, drive system preparation, interior protection, and exterior coverage recommendations. We recommend scheduling winterization in October or early November, before temperatures consistently drop below freezing in East Tennessee. Our technicians are factory-trained in winterizing Supra, Moomba, Yamaha, and other boat brands to manufacturer specifications, ensuring warranty compliance and proper protection. We also offer winter storage solutions and can create a customized winterization and storage package to meet your specific needs. In spring, our de-winterization service will ensure your boat is ready for the new season with fresh fluids, system checks, and a thorough cleaning.

Absolutely! Premier Watersports Knoxville welcomes boats of all makes and models, regardless of where they were purchased. Our skilled technicians have experience working on a wide variety of boat brands and models, including Malibu, Mastercraft, Nautique, Cobalt, Sea Ray, and many others. We have access to parts and service information for most major manufacturers and can handle everything from routine maintenance to complex repairs. Many boat owners who purchased elsewhere choose our service department for our expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to quality. We're happy to establish service records for your boat and provide the same level of care and professionalism that our purchasing customers receive. We can also help with warranty work on many brands through our service partnerships.

Our service turnaround times at Premier Watersports Knoxville vary based on the type of service required and the current season. For routine maintenance such as oil changes, tune-ups, and basic repairs, we typically complete the work within 2-3 business days. More extensive repairs or custom installations may require 5-10 business days, depending on parts availability and complexity. During peak boating season (May through August), wait times may be slightly longer, which is why we recommend scheduling routine maintenance in advance. For emergency repairs that affect your ability to use your boat, we offer expedited service options whenever possible. When you schedule service, our team will provide you with an estimated completion timeframe, and we'll keep you updated on progress throughout the process. We understand that time on the water is precious, especially during Tennessee's boating season, and we work diligently to return your boat to you as quickly as possible without compromising on quality.

Yes, Premier Watersports Knoxville offers mobile and dockside service for many maintenance and repair needs. Our mobile service is available at marinas, private docks, and homes throughout the Knoxville area, covering Fort Loudoun Lake, Watts Bar Lake, Melton Hill Lake, and portions of Norris Lake. Our mobile technicians can perform oil changes, basic system diagnostics, stereo installations, minor repairs, and pre-season inspections right at your dock. This service is particularly convenient for boats that are already in the water or stored at locations that make trailering difficult. Mobile service is available by appointment, typically Monday through Friday, with some Saturday availability during peak season. While some complex repairs will still require a visit to our main service facility, our mobile technicians can often diagnose issues on-site and provide recommendations. There is a service call fee based on your location, which is applied toward any service performed.

In East Tennessee's climate and water conditions, we recommend a regular service schedule to keep your boat performing at its best. For boats used regularly (weekly or bi-weekly), engine oil and filter changes should be performed every 50 hours of operation or at least once per season. Drive system fluids should be checked and changed annually. Impellers should be replaced every 100 hours or annually to prevent overheating issues. East Tennessee's warm summer temperatures and varying water quality in our lakes make cooling system maintenance particularly important. We recommend a comprehensive inspection at the beginning of each season (typically March/April) and winterization at the end of the season (October/November). Boats used in Norris Lake, which has very clean water, may require less frequent zinc anode replacement than those used in lakes with higher mineral content. For wakeboard and surf boats that see heavy use, we recommend mid-season check-ups to ensure ballast systems and surf systems are functioning properly. Following manufacturer-recommended service intervals is crucial for warranty compliance and long-term reliability.

Yes, Premier Watersports Knoxville offers comprehensive boat detailing services to keep your vessel looking its best. Our detailing packages range from basic wash and wax services to complete interior and exterior reconditioning. Our exterior detailing includes hull cleaning, oxidation removal, compound buffing, waxing, chrome polishing, and UV protectant application. Interior detailing covers carpet cleaning, upholstery conditioning, vinyl treatment, teak or synthetic deck cleaning, glass polishing, and mold/mildew removal. We use marine-specific products designed to withstand the harsh conditions boats face on Tennessee waterways. Many customers schedule detailing services twice per season—once in spring before launching and once in fall before storage. We also offer ceramic coating applications that provide long-lasting protection against UV damage and water spots, particularly beneficial for boats kept in slips on Fort Loudoun Lake and other local waterways. Detailing services can be performed at our facility or as part of our mobile service offerings at select locations.
